[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think Wootton has much to complain about.

Quince Orchard is obviously to he happiest with the boundaries.

Northwest is the big loser.[/quote]

QO is a loser with the regional programs; QO is in a region with Gaithersburg, Magruder, and Watkins Mill and not Poolesville.

Watkins Mill already has an IB set up, but SMACs and Humanities will have to be stood up from scratch and both will be at Gaithersburg.[/quote]

Correction, SMACS will be at Gaithersburg, Humanities will be at Watkins Mill along with the IB and Critical Languages, Cultures, and Global Connections.

Under the regional program, it looks like Gaithersburg HS is set up as the tech high school (SMACS, Cybersecurity, Digital Communication: Animation and Game Design), while Watkins Mill will be the Humanities high school[/quote]

What is SMACS? Is Gaithersburg HS strong in high tech & Watlkin Mills strong in humanities? [/quote]

SMACS is Science, Mathematics, and Computer Science. It's the STEM magnets at Blair (for Down County) and Poolesville (Up County).

General consensus is that Watkins Mill IB is not as good as the County-Wide Program at Richard Montgomery.

It's to be determined how good the new programs will be, since they're expanding the programs from 2 schools to 6. I think it's going to be a rough start, but maybe once my kids have kids, it'll be well-established...[/quote]

There is no A SMCS...and it is becoming STEM because it's a new curriculum.[/quote]
